Very good

Hello dc2acgsr99

I glad that you are making progress. ;) Try to self study loops and if-statements. With that, you can really improve on this code. Search the forums and the internet and ask when you get stuck at Java Forums.

Good luck! :D

Eyes dwelling into the past are blind to what lies in the future. Step carefully.

Tim you must have the power to see the future my friend because my question pertains to just that, the "if" statements and so forth. Specifically the code below is strikingly similar to the one posted above with modifications, now everything complies and executes just fine but... I must have the section in red there or it will show an error when the cancel button is pressed, but when it is there the D, X and R do not show their image in the general output window... But to add to it I do not think the "else" statements are being used correctly as no matter what letter I input into the "JOptionPane.showInputDialog" it shows the "Please enter a D, X or R" message, even if it is the right letter and it shows the image... Ideas, views, suggestions, opinions?
